If a traffic accident victim goes into cardiorespiratory arrest, what first aid technique must be applied immediately?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Detailed explanation: When a person is unconscious and not breathing, their heart has stopped pumping blood. Time is critical, as brain damage begins within a few minutes. What is CPR?: It is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions (to artificially pump blood) and rescue breathing or 'mouth-to-mouth' (to oxygenate the blood). The standard ratio for adults is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. Analysis of errors: 'Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation' alone is insufficient because it does not restore blood circulation. 'Cardiological resuscitation' is a generic or medical term not used to describe the specific first aid maneuver that a driver must perform on the road.
